These clams have been stored in a high tech refrigerated flowing seawater system post harvest that keeps them fresher, tastier, and alive longer than other clams on the market. While in this wet holding area, they naturally clean themselves of sand, bacteria and grit by filtering the clean seawater.

RECIPES & TIPS

Quahog clams’ best applications vary with their size.

Cherrystones: Best used in stuffed clams (Rhode Islanders affectionately call them “Stuffies”). Grind or finely mince the meat and mix it with bread crumbs, garlic, herbs and other ingredients (often including lemon juice and bacon or sausage) before returning it to half of the clam shell and baking.

Chowders: The largest quahog clams, these should be used to make stuffed clams or chopped for clam chowder.
